The "experts" strike again!



Never mind that Kate Brown has led in every poll recently and especially ignore Oregon's fundamentals, this is absolutely a tossup because reasons.

Interesting that only 3% of voters are undecided on Prop 1. Guess people's stances are just really baked in now.

Why 538 rates Iowa gubernatorial race as Likely D with Dem candidate 6% lead over GOP Kim Reynolds?

Wave election?

Conservative group spending $1.2M to defeat Proposal 2 redistricting commission

If they really wanted to tank this, they probably should have been more aggressive in fundraising and outreach sooner. But VNP might want to start raising more money of their own to at least partially counteract funding on the conservative side. The only way I could see it failing given the last couple polls is if conservatives raised an insane amount of money and were allowed to advertise unchallenged, as redistricting is a relatively opaque subject that people can be manipulated on.

I'm a bit skeptical it will fail in an election that is largely going to be super favorable to Michigan Democrats though.

Redistricting initiative support surges in Michigan (now 59-29). Others are comfortably ahead.

It's not super recent, but it's the most recent I found.

Florida Amendment 4 (restore felon voting rights) (NYT/Siena):

Yes 60%
No 31%
Undecided 9%

I am worried that the "undecideds" will just vote no, but 60 would be enough.

Passing this will effectively turn FL into a tilt D state

*Crosses fingers* Though even for less cynical reasons, it would still be an overall positive.

PPP did a big North Carolina poll

State Supreme Court:
Anita Earls (D) 37
Barbara Jackson (R) 23
Chris Anglin (R) 14

They also have Democrats leading in two NC Court of Appeals races, one of them featuring similar vote splitting to the Supreme Court race.

The judicial vacancies powergrab amendment is failing 29-43, and the Elections Board powergrab amendment is also failing 40-32. Unfortunately, voter ID is passing 57-34 and the tax cap is passing 50-32.

Despite the last two failing, this is still a massive win. It means Democrats will have control of the election boards at least so long as Cooper or another Democrat is governor, and they will have a 5 - 2 Supreme Court majority. It's basically the end of shenanigans from the GOP and possibly a path to flipping the legislature before the next redistricting.

If the Democrats can kill the super majority this year, they should sue for new maps on day one.

Update from Oregon on Ballot Initiatives:

MEASURE 105 REPEALS LAW LIMITING USE OF STATE/LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES TO ENFORCE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS (36.7% YES- 63.3% NO). Almost 2:1 Support for sanctuary State laws in Oregon.



MEASURE 106 AMENDS CONSTITUTION: PROHIBITS SPENDING 'PUBLIC FUNDS' (DEFINED) DIRECTLY/INDIRECTLY FOR 'ABORTION' (DEFINED); EXCEPTIONS; REDUCES ABORTION ACCESS

(35.6% YES--- 64.4% NO)



So despite Republican attempts to put Abortion and Immigration on the ballot to spur Turnout in the '18 GE, it appears that was not successful when it came to the OR-GOV race.

Food for thought....

I can't help but feel like Michigan Republicans are going to resist the voting rights expansion passed by voters. Whitmer's vetoes could prevent them from being sneaky, but if they pass implementing legislation before she takes office, they will have more discretion.

For example, perhaps Republicans only allow same-day registration at govt offices and not at polling places during election day (the amendment implies at polling places too but Republicans can ignore that and hope the state supreme court bails them out)? There is a big difference. Or what about no-excuse absentee voting? Does this mean MI gets actual in-person early voting or are they going to stick to mail? Because, again, there is a huge difference in the actual effect on the convenience of voting for people. How will election audits be done?

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but one thing I've learned is to never, ever trust Republicans to implement ballot initiatives fairly. Michigan Republicans are already proving why that is with the min. wage and paid sick leave initiatives they short-circuited. And we all know the emergency manager veto referendum they invalidated with cheap tricks.
